Do you see the ute curls? I love Martin’s curls. The most interesting is that his parents aren’t blond at all. It has come from further back genes in the family.

It was worth the wait and the nap. Martin came into the studio with a grumpy mood and wasn’t too happy to have photos taken. This can happen of course, he is the boss of my work, if he cries and clings to mum after a few tries to capture anything nice, it’s time to rethink. After a few minutes of talk and finding out that he woke up very early that morning. Which has turned the schedule around for him and he was now tired earlier than normal. We decided to have mum feed him and get him to sleep for an half an hour.

I am very glad that we decided to give him a nap because wow it did wonders, he sat down and tasted the cake and was very concentrated and we only had a few smiles but it doesn’t always need a big smile to make the photos come out good. He did so well in the end and the parents were so delighted and happy that it turned out well in the end.

I always recommend for parents to stay as calm as they can because the child will sense your stress or anxiety. A calm mum equals a calm baby they say. At least for the most of the time.

How would you decorate your baby’s cake smash, would it be all pink or blue? or would you go for something different? Please comment below.
